Guess I’d have to agree. Apparently biologically male, yet definitely not a man.
Troll? Yes.
Fuckwit? Beyond any doubt.
Raging boil on the infected ass of humanity? Obviously.
But nothing like a man.

Can’t we all just get along, you assholes?

[QUOTE=Quiddity Glomfuster]
Ok, I don’t mind and I will answer the others’ too but I really really must do some stuff that I should’ve done a couple days ago so I’m hoping you’ll bear with me for a bit until I can afford the time to get to them all. Thanks.

First of all, it’s bated, not baited.

Secondly, it’s a contraction of abated. So you’re holding your breath until the OP replies. Good luck with that.

Nothing at all. However, the phrase “bated breath” means you’re holding your breath until the referenced event comes to pass.

Well, for one thing, it’s “bated,” not “baited.”

And why is QG offering to answer questions if she’s too busy to?

Unless you mean someone whose breath is so bad it attracts flies, it’s bated breath.

Well, but you didn’t really answer what “baited” breath means, though, did you?

Although it’s bated breath we still call it worm-breath in my house. (bait=worms, get it! :stuck_out_tongue: )

Usage: “Darling, I await your return from work with worm-breath.” :slight_smile:

Feh. Mine had more snark, and we all know that’s what’s really important on this board.

I thought it was when my cat eats cheese and waits for a mouse to come by. :slight_smile:

It’s bated breath, you goddam ignorant pieces of shitstained panties from a diseased chickenhawk fundo-atheist commie toadfucker. Christ Almighty! If you don’t know what you are talking about, just shut the fuck up.

QtM, **twickster ** & Colibri, thank you. I suspected I misspelled it, it did not make any sense. :smiley:

The Dope, fastest correct answers on the internet. For the Record if you Google “Baited Breath” you get 401,000 answers. So google was not my friend.

BTW: extra thanks, 3 of my favorite posters.

Because somehow it’s easier to answer evryone who PMs her individually than one answer in the thread she started…? :dubious:

Hey, I am not a Fundo-atheist commie. I am a hawkish, anti-communist agnostic.
Besides if I shut up when I didn’t know what I was talking about, when would I talk?

several times over, yet. You think that would last more than 11 minutes on this board during prime time?

Come on Oakminster. Is that because you disagree with RedFury, or just a childish personal attack?

The OP starts a thread only to tell people she might answer questions via PM in a couple days and your calling RedFury names? Doesn’t that strike you as a little silly?
